This case concerns a petition for reconsideration by lien claimants challenging the disallowance of their medical liens. The initial administrative law judge disallowed the liens, finding a referral for epidural injections was not supported by evidence. Specifically, the judge noted a report by Dr. Ross, which in turn cited Dr. Trotter's opinion that post-permanent and stationary treatment, including injections, was not appropriate or necessary. The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the petition for reconsideration.
